Just bought a Merc

[Pogle]

Looks sexy in a Maserati kind of way, the great thing about Alfa's is the sheeple haven't cottoned on to the fact they're making reliable cars these days so a 3 year old can be had for £10k whilst the equivalent BMW is still £15k+.

SAS, women don't go weak at the knees when you turn up in a Mazda no matter how technologically brilliant it is. You buy an Alfa because it's sexy and exudes style with decent engines to boot... even the diesels get excellent reviews.

I have to disagree - also that's a very shallow opinion of women you've got there! I thought the days of trying to impress a women by what car you drive were long gone

Anyway my Mazda RX8 makes me go weak at the knees

week = 7 days
weak = not very strong

I've been on the phone to agents all morning and as a consequence my brain has turned to jelly tots!

I was generalising and being a little sexist.

Generalising again IMO Italian cars are sexier than Japanese cars, I own a Jap car BTW.

Alfas are now slightly better designed rebadged Fiats for girly boys. Gone are the days when they were really cool - the days of the wooden steering wheel Alfetta GTV (totally impractical but what a presence) , the song of the 3 litre Twin Spark 164 (box shaped but probably the only well made Alfa of its era), and finally the 155 2 litre (another boxy car but sweet as a nut to drive). The days when men were men and owning an Alfa meant you HAD to have mechanic skills Brings a tear to the old eye.

You don't get it, do you? You know the exact opposite of anoraks? That was the Alfisti.
Anyway you'll never know what you missed, tootlng along in your German dulls-ville-mobile
